Two plants, Dicoma anomala [Sond.]; a member of the Asteraceae and Sclerocarya birrea [(A. Rich) Hoechst. subspecies caffra (Sond.) Kokwaro], a member of the Anarcadiaceae families, are used widely in Africa for a variety of traditional treatments. In this thesis it has been shown that these plants possess in vitro pharmacological activities against the malaria parasite. The extracts of D. anomala are active in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum and those of S. birrea selectively enhance the in vitro accumulation of chloroquine in resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. 2014-07-29T09:07:18Z 2014-07-29T09:07:18Z 2001 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3427 eng application/pdf Department of Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
